“What do you mean? Don’t drag me into your mess,” I hissed and scoffed. It was unbelievable howdense he was. He was openly admitting that he killed his brother to eliminate the competition. At thispoint, I didn’t know what to believe.
He was constantly changing his statement. I can’t even tell if he knows what he wants. But one thingwas for sure: there was no redemption for him.
It is simple. You have twenty days to make a decision. And while those twenty days pass, the peopleyou once knew will die a terrible death. Every day, you will see your loved one die, and by the end oftwenty days, even your mates will be dead. So, make a decision: either lie down with me in my bed orbe the reason that everyone suffers,” he spoke very softly, almost like the whisper of a devil.
I didn’t look away from him for one bit, as I wanted to keep looking into his eyes to make sure I didn’tthink I was ever intimate with this man. How did I never see what this evil man was up to?

“You can try that. But maybe you are forgetting you have three powerful creatures standing againstyou,” I mumbled with a smile of confidence on my lips. He wasn’t the only powerful creature here.
We were stronger in strength and number.
“Maybe you are forgetting something else. The problem with heroes is that they have too manyweaknesses. Now you are going to protect Gwen, Colt, Reign, and even your mother—,” the way hesmiled, I felt my body shivering. Why did he mention my mother?
“I don’t have a weakness. But look at your face. You are already petrified,” he smiled widely, “well, yourtime starts now. I should also go because standing with you makes me want to misbehave,” he sniffedmy hair before turning around and walking towards the exit of the living room.
“Oh, and—don’t forget, there is a crazy man from hell that loves you desperately,” he confessed withouteven turning around to look at me.
Once he had left the mansion, I made a run upstairs to check on Reign and Colt. The two were lying onthe cold floor, passed out.
“Hey, are you two okay?” I asked in a panic, gently tapping my hand on Reign’ s cheek and thenshaking Colt. Colt started waking up a little, and as soon as he was awake, he held my hand first tomake sure I was fine.
“Are you fine?” he asked, watching me with observant eyes.
“I am,” I replied softly, reassuring him with a head nod. His eyes then traveled to Reign, who was stillpassed out.
“Reign, hey! Wake up,” Colt began to shake her up. He held her up in his arms and ran her downstairs,where Gwen had walked out of the guest room and sat down on the couch with her face in her hands.
“He is going to kill my baby,” she commented, making Colt put Reign on the couch and face her.
“But why would he do that? Has he gone that crazy?” Colt inquired, looking my way to learn more fromme. That’s when the other two arrived home. I was now beginning to understand that the arson wasjust a way to lure the brothers out.
“What happened here?” As soon as Helel entered the living room and looked around at each one of us,he questioned.
“Hey?” Akin too joined him and asked in worry. His eyes were sticking to me, and so were Helel’s. Idon’t know what happened, but in my weakest moment, I felt like rushing into Akin’s arms. So, I did justthat.
I rushed, noticing Helel, as I believed he had taken it wrong. Maybe he thought I was rushing to be inhis arms. When I ran past him, his body shuddered, and his lips parted to express his sadness byletting out a gasp.
I landed in Akin’s arms and noticed Helel turning slightly to look my way. That’s when Gwen got up andhugged him. Of course, she was badly shaken up too. Helel loosely wrapped his arm around her back,but his eyes never left my sight.
After the two had calmed us down, We sat down to have a discussion. Zane was getting out of hand,and if we didn’t stop him right now, we would end up losing many loved ones.novelbin
“So my instincts were right. He wanted to harm my baby,” Helel hissed under his breath, shaking hishead in disappointment.
“That day when I left the mansion, I was brutally humiliated by Zane. I was in the kitchen when heoffered me some cookies, which I refused because I didn’t trust him. That’s when he badly humiliatedme and said nasty things too. There was poison in them, so he burned them when Reign and Coltarrived. He was so sneaky,” Gwen whispered as tears began to appear in her eyes. They havediscussed everything, and it makes sense now.
Gwen had many close calls with death because of Zane. Her survival itself was a mystery.
“I can’t believe he wanted to get rid of me when we were in that well. He sent Mykel to kill me, andwhen he failed, he punished Dream for ruining the plan by letting Huia out and giving her a mission to
kill—Dream,” Helel was talking about his feelings when he saw Reign lower her head and hide hertears.
It must be devastating that Zane killed so many innocent people.
“He was the one behind all the killings,” Akin sighed, holding my hand tightly. “He wants to rule theworld? Is this why he did all that?” Helel got increasingly angry when realizing how many lives Zanehad taken and how many more he was going after. “Actually—Gwen cleared her throat to geteveryone’s attention. I knew she had heard my conversation with Zane.
“Beatrice! I think you should tell them. Right now, we all need to be open with each other,” she wasright, so I nodded and took a deep breath.
“He wants me to accept and live with him,” I said, watching the two stare at my face before angererupted inside them.
